1:00
Speaker 2: all today by choice. I want just want by myself. Today.
1:06
Speaker 2: I am drinking high quality Age two.
1:08
Speaker 1: Oh.
1:09
Speaker 2: But I'll be a little honest. Before I came into
1:11
Speaker 2: the cantina, I had a few glasses of wine. So
1:15
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a really interesting pot Not really, It's
1:17
Speaker 2: not gonna be anything too crazy. Today. I'm gonna be
1:21
Speaker 2: a communications major who did very well in math and
1:25
Speaker 2: college psych and talk finances not my own because I'd
1:29
Speaker 2: be stupid. So I have debated on talking about this
1:36
Speaker 2: for a bit. Actually, no joke. I literally I can
1:38
Speaker 2: see the sticking on in front of me. When I did
1:40
Speaker 2: episode one ninety save then the I'm Back episode I
1:48
Speaker 2: literally had wrote down because I mentioned the Warner Brothers sale,
1:52
Speaker 2: and I wrote down the Warner Brothers Netflix deal, and
1:56
Speaker 2: literally on the piece of paper you can see Netflix
1:58
Speaker 2: is kind of not written all the way. It's kind
2:01
Speaker 2: of like foreshadowing. I don't know, It's like I could
2:03
Speaker 2: see what was going on. Long story short, this Warner
2:09
Speaker 2: Brothers thing has been a I'm not gonna say debacle.
2:13
Speaker 2: It has been an ongoing battle of terms. Who's gonna
2:16
Speaker 2: get it, who's gonna buy it? Who wants it? Do
2:18
Speaker 2: they even really want to sell? Do they want to
2:20
Speaker 2: do this? Do they want to do that? Can they
2:22
Speaker 2: all just sit down and just figure the shit out.
2:25
Speaker 2: There's so many jobs and people's things on the line.
2:27
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah yeah, but of course I want the people
2:28
Speaker 2: care about the shareholders and the peoples in suits and times. Yeah. Yeah,
2:31
Speaker 2: that's life just rambling down here for usual. And the
2:35
Speaker 2: reason I didn't do it is because I just had
2:38
Speaker 2: a hunch. Initially, when the deal went through, I was
2:42
Speaker 2: shocked because I was sure that sky Dancer Paramount was
2:45
Speaker 2: going to get it. And then I've talked about it
2:49
Speaker 2: a little bit here and there, but we brief mentioned
2:52
Speaker 2: something too crazy, but I didn't want to do a
2:54
Speaker 2: one because I'm just like, I just gotta because all
2:56
Speaker 2: these all all these reports were coming up about like, oh, Netflix,
3:00
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers are doing this or preparing for this. But
3:03
Speaker 2: then you see articles that Skydance Paramount they're trying to
3:06
Speaker 2: contact shareholders directly to do a what was it called
3:10
Speaker 2: hostile takeover? Someone nothing like someone on those lines tame
3:13
Speaker 2: the exact wording all this stuff, and they got to
3:15
Speaker 2: the point where, literally two weeks ago, if that report
3:17
Speaker 2: came out saying Warner Brothers is giving Paramount seven days
3:22
Speaker 2: to beat Netflix's offer, and they did. They made them
3:27
Speaker 2: an offer they could refuse. And then if my if
3:32
Speaker 2: my sources are correct, the thing stuff'm reading online, because
3:35
Speaker 2: of course everything you read online is true from the
3:38
Speaker 2: major trades. Essentially, they gave Netflix four to five days
3:42
Speaker 2: to rebuttal like, hey, Paramount up their offer, We financially
3:47
Speaker 2: believe this is a better offer for us and our shareholders.
3:50
Speaker 2: How do you respond? And apparently Ted Sarano's head of
3:52
Speaker 2: Netflix and CEO, apparently they even take them two hours
3:56
Speaker 2: to respond. They said, nope, we're out. It's like, wow,
4:07
Speaker 2: that was quick. So Paramount Skydance gets it. And the
4:10
Speaker 2: funny thing is, and I'll get to the numbers here
4:12
Speaker 2: in a second. There's a lot of things people don't realize.
4:16
Speaker 2: So I believe the number right now is and I'll
4:19
Speaker 2: get to the math and like why it's if you're
4:21
Speaker 2: here in a second, Paramount is looking to get Warner
4:25
Speaker 2: Brothers for thirty one dollars a share. The valuation is
4:30
Speaker 2: estimated to be one hundred and ten billion dollars. Now
4:35
Speaker 2: that's great and all, but with your all the problems
4:37
Speaker 2: we have in this country, couldn't you know, maybe they
4:40
Speaker 2: just give you know, the people this country, then you need
4:42
Speaker 2: just like a smidgeon of that or some shit. Anyway,
4:44
Speaker 2: different conversation, different time. The issue is, this is what
4:49
Speaker 2: people don't understand. And I talk about this with my
4:51
Speaker 2: father in law and some other friends. Netflix didn't buy
4:55
Speaker 2: all of Warner Brothers. They bought the studio, Warner Brothers
5:02
Speaker 2: and HBO. Now there are some other little subsidiaries, for example,
5:08
Speaker 2: like the video games they bought that, the library and
5:10
Speaker 2: all that stuff, but that essentially is the main thing
5:12
Speaker 2: they bought because those are included in those They didn't
5:16
Speaker 2: buy anything else. The thame people forget is Warner Brothers
5:19
Speaker 2: not just one ros. It's Warner Brothers Discovery. Because I've
5:21
Speaker 2: joked about here on the podcast before, is I still
5:24
Speaker 2: understand how Discovery, the Discovery Channel bought Warner Brothers. Now
5:28
Speaker 2: over the years we talked about because Warner Brothers, where
5:30
Speaker 2: they were at the time was not in a good spot.
5:33
Speaker 2: But like, literally it's like Chip and Joanna Gaines bought Batman.
5:37
Speaker 2: The fuck That's what happened. Literally, Now the Netflix Staler
5:43
Speaker 2: was supposed to be just those two properties because originally
5:47
Speaker 2: what Warner Brothers was going to do is they were
5:48
Speaker 2: going to which doesn't make any sense. Discovery and Warner
5:52
Speaker 2: Brothers came in together, or Discovery bought Warner Brothers. They
5:56
Speaker 2: could buy into two companies in the one and Discovery
5:58
Speaker 2: is like, Okay, we're gonna take one Brothers and HBO
6:01
Speaker 2: are two hottest properties, split them up in their own
6:03
Speaker 2: company and be Warner Brothers. Everything else, CNN, all this
6:05
Speaker 2: other stuff is just say together as Discovery. It's like,
6:10
Speaker 2: so you feel bad for work for Discovery because it's
6:12
Speaker 2: like not that it's dying, but it's not anywhere near valuable,
6:15
Speaker 2: Water Brothers and HBO, but Paramount bought all of it.
6:22
Speaker 2: They bought Warner Brothers, they bought HBO, they bought the
6:26
Speaker 2: video games, they bought the TV channels, they bought TNT, TBS, CNN,
6:33
Speaker 2: all of this. And it's just insane that like within
6:38
Speaker 2: a matter of two weeks. And here's a funny thing too,
6:42
Speaker 2: forget about the two weeks comment. When this deal first
6:46
Speaker 2: happened with Netflix, a lot of people were because Netflix
6:49
Speaker 2: is not known for being the theater business, but a
6:52
Speaker 2: lot of like cooler head to prevail because a lot
6:55
Speaker 2: of people who are doubting Netflix's ability to do this,
6:58
Speaker 2: They literally came on and said, we are not changing
6:59
Speaker 2: them about Warner Brothers. Essentially, they're gonna run at their
7:01
Speaker 2: own company and we're just gonna collect the cash. That's
7:04
Speaker 2: what they claimed, which is good because that means less
7:09
Speaker 2: people lose their jobs. There's still that competition aspect and
7:12
Speaker 2: stuff like that. Like for example, yeah there's Disney, but
7:16
Speaker 2: like they bought twenty century Fox. Twenty century Fox are
7:20
Speaker 2: still in the movie studio. Sure they're in Disney Corporation,
7:23
Speaker 2: but they're still there are still a movie studio that
7:25
Speaker 2: hires people has jobs and all this stuff. It's not
7:27
Speaker 2: just one less thing, you know, because they have twentieth
7:30
Speaker 2: Century Marvel, Lucas, Pixar, this animation like all those. But
7:39
Speaker 2: with Netflix it would have been like, yeah, we're have Netflix,
7:41
Speaker 2: we have Warner Brothers, and like it was just but
7:43
Speaker 2: essentially cool to a lot of people's minds. Off these idea
7:46
Speaker 2: that like, oh shit, they're just gonna essentially subsidize and
7:50
Speaker 2: you know or what's that Oh forget what that word is,
7:54
Speaker 2: you know, or don't we don't need trim the fit,
7:56
Speaker 2: we don't need to have that many people work in
7:58
Speaker 2: the same job, all that stuff, and moved on. Now
8:03
Speaker 2: with this deal with Paramount buying them, it's been iffy.
8:09
Speaker 2: There's reports saying they are going to cut people. There's
8:11
Speaker 2: reports saying they are going to cut people. They are
8:13
Speaker 2: gonna cut people. I literally saw one where allegedly someone
8:18
Speaker 2: from Paramounts said we have to cut five billion dollars
8:21
Speaker 2: worth of of like employments and like especially we need
8:27
Speaker 2: to do a five billion dollar budget cut in order
8:31
Speaker 2: to like you know, pay the bills and stuff like that.
8:35
Speaker 2: And allegedly Netflix came out and said, actually, you guys
8:38
Speaker 2: did it wrong when we had it for all two seconds.
8:42
Speaker 2: We value that they that budget cut you need to
8:44
Speaker 2: make at twelve. So clearly the math is not made
8:49
Speaker 2: for some people. But and I'm indifferent because I would
8:57
Speaker 2: prefer to have the studios not be bought by each other.
9:00
Speaker 2: Because there's a book that I read it but controversy
9:05
Speaker 2: creates cash. It's a book from like twenty years ago,
9:07
Speaker 2: and I love that title because I think competition is
9:11
Speaker 2: what makes any company or anyone better. You can't have
9:18
Speaker 2: That's the best way to say it. As much as
9:21
Speaker 2: I love Star Wars, you can't have. You're always gonna
9:24
Speaker 2: have your Star Wars, Star Trek Battles, your Marvel, DC, Batman,
9:30
Speaker 2: Spider Man, Football, NFL. You know what's the biggest sport
9:35
Speaker 2: in our world? Is it NFL or soccer? I mean,
9:37
Speaker 2: I'm a football guy, but I'm the first to admit
9:39
Speaker 2: it's really that's the actual football or from Europe, biggest
9:42
Speaker 2: sport in the world. But the problem is if they're
9:45
Speaker 2: all owned by the same person, It's like, what's really
9:48
Speaker 2: the point. Because I'm the first one to say too,
9:50
Speaker 2: if you don't have competition, you get lazy. And I
9:53
Speaker 2: don't mean that as like you're trying to be lazy.
9:55
Speaker 2: You just the hair in the back. You're not just
9:58
Speaker 2: get up that much. I mean, I'm not going to
10:00
Speaker 2: go into it, you know, I'm not gonna go to
10:02
Speaker 2: the wrestling part of this. But like there's a reason
10:05
Speaker 2: why they say the greatest time ever in wrestling is
10:06
Speaker 2: the Monday Night Wars. Two companies by two billionaires, and
10:12
Speaker 2: they're just trying to strive for each other to just
10:15
Speaker 2: essentially take each other out of business by doing things
10:18
Speaker 2: on TV at the time that were it's the word
10:27
Speaker 2: revolutionaries one of them, but rebellious. There's a reason I
10:32
Speaker 2: was called the edit era because like literally there was
10:34
Speaker 2: so they're doing on the TV shows, which is asked them,
10:36
Speaker 2: but it was just it was done not the sole
10:38
Speaker 2: purpose of just to make a buck. It was done
10:40
Speaker 2: the sole purpose to outperform and out entertain the other
10:45
Speaker 2: show because they knew if they did that then the
10:47
Speaker 2: cash would come. And that's what ended up happening, which
10:49
Speaker 2: is why Vince bought Ted Turner his company out in
10:53
Speaker 2: two thousand and one. Now there's other reasons, and that
10:56
Speaker 2: I'm not a good to that A lot of it's
10:58
Speaker 2: kind of actually a little familiar to this situation with
11:00
Speaker 2: terms of someone buying a company, but that's already here.
11:02
Speaker 2: It's a different story, different time. But it's one of
11:07
Speaker 2: those things that though it's like I would prefer Netflix
11:12
Speaker 2: to have had it based on the fact they so
11:15
Speaker 2: soa they're gonna leave it alone, but from the sound
11:18
Speaker 2: it sounds like Paramun's not gonna do that. Again. Things
11:23
Speaker 2: can change, but it just sucks because it's like you
11:25
Speaker 2: don't want to see, you don't want from what you want.
11:27
Speaker 2: A lot of people lose their jobs. And also the
11:29
Speaker 2: same time too, it's like that's it, especially for like
11:32
Speaker 2: myself who's getting into voice acting, or just other actors
11:34
Speaker 2: or people even just people working. It's less, it's less uh,
11:43
Speaker 2: less employers, it's less opportunities to go after because again
11:47
Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, we don't have you know, we don't
11:49
Speaker 2: there's not two major studios with like you know, we'll say,
11:51
Speaker 2: like what twenty production companies are them? Now it's just
11:54
Speaker 2: one studio with ten It's like, wait, why would we
11:57
Speaker 2: hire you? We have Jimbob, I've been with her forever.
12:01
Speaker 2: Jim Bob doesn't want to do it, but that's where
12:03
Speaker 2: he's gonna do it anything because he wants to keep
12:04
Speaker 2: his job. It just that shit sucks, but fun stuff
12:10
Speaker 2: all right, now for some fun numbers. It's just the
12:13
Speaker 2: liberty of just breaking down some stuff. Of course, yes
12:17
Speaker 2: I use some AI processing. I'm afraid of a minute,
12:21
Speaker 2: sorry Chris or other people. This helps a little bit
12:23
Speaker 2: with the numbers. I'm not great with not the greatest
12:25
Speaker 2: with with reading math. But essentially, what Paramount gains by
12:32
Speaker 2: buying Warner Brothers they at HBO that writes the DC films,
12:35
Speaker 2: video games, Harry Potter, CNN, Star Trek, Nickelodeon, CBS. Deal
12:45
Speaker 2: reportedly is a one hundred and ten billion valuation financing
12:48
Speaker 2: from banks and investors. A lot of it comes from
12:51
Speaker 2: the Ellison family and outside funds. So and the reason
12:58
Speaker 2: why then steal likely we'll go through is because the
13:00
Speaker 2: Stichtish shareholders say that five times fast. They prefer cash
13:07
Speaker 2: because cash is chaos in some of my households. So
13:10
Speaker 2: they've never heard me say that before, which is not true.
13:14
Speaker 2: So essentially would be thirty one dollars per share in cash,
13:18
Speaker 2: and you know it's mediate money. It's in your pocket,
13:21
Speaker 2: no questions asked, and it is the highest offer among
13:23
Speaker 2: others which could drive the shareholders to approve the deal
13:30
Speaker 2: and as even before it goes through government regulations and
13:33
Speaker 2: all that stuff. But here's why, actually this deal might
13:35
Speaker 2: not happen, which is interesting. So apparently Netflix had the
13:41
Speaker 2: money they had, they were they were, you know, it's
13:43
Speaker 2: one of those like classical part wasna cash stocks this
13:46
Speaker 2: and that promises all that shit, but with one of us,
13:50
Speaker 2: we're pretty much saying all cash offer, which doesn't make
13:54
Speaker 2: any sense because a lot of of people report it
14:01
Speaker 2: they don't know where all this money is coming from.
14:04
Speaker 2: There's a lot of reports of potential outside funding from
14:06
Speaker 2: like you know, like allegedly like the Saudi's. There's other
14:10
Speaker 2: like allege outside fundings and stuff like that. And it's
14:14
Speaker 2: one of those things where it's like it's big of
14:15
Speaker 2: a deal that says like you need to where the
14:16
Speaker 2: money is coming from because people don't want to have
14:18
Speaker 2: their name attached that, which makes sense. Another thing too,
14:23
Speaker 2: is paramount with this deal. I know Oscar is going
14:27
Speaker 2: to go into a huge line of debt, so much
14:30
Speaker 2: so that their stock is becoming junk rated, which is
14:36
Speaker 2: no bueno. It's again, I'm not a stock guy, but
14:41
Speaker 2: I know it does lead to higher risks and ratings
14:45
Speaker 2: for borrowing costs, bigger interest rates, like you know, less
14:51
Speaker 2: likely to get certain loans and certain deals and all
14:55
Speaker 2: that stuff. But the gist essentially is paramount is buying
15:01
Speaker 2: something that is valued. They're buying something, they're buying something
15:07
Speaker 2: way over price. If that was not that Warner Brothers
15:11
Speaker 2: is not a valuable company. But perfect example, Disney bought
15:15
Speaker 2: Fox for around I think it's like seventy something billion
15:17
Speaker 2: dollars as we're talking about here. Before they had him
15:19
Speaker 2: for forty and then Comcast stepped in and allegedly they
15:23
Speaker 2: don't even know what people have said. They only think
15:25
Speaker 2: Comcasts wanted to Fox twentieth century. They think that they
15:30
Speaker 2: just just a fuck with the mouse, which hey, it's
15:33
Speaker 2: a cruel, cruel ploy but it worked out. They spent
15:37
Speaker 2: thirty billion more Jesus. But anyway, moving along, but yeah,
15:46
Speaker 2: it's just there's there's just so much money involved in there,
15:49
Speaker 2: and it's like okay, like let's say like for example's
15:50
Speaker 2: say this steal goes through and all this money's in there,
15:52
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, if you're on that board, how do
15:56
Speaker 2: you handle those decisions? To go oscars really scared. How
16:01
Speaker 2: do you handle those decisions in terms of what to
16:04
Speaker 2: do next? Because it's like, Okay, we have one hundred
16:06
Speaker 2: and ten billion dollars allegedly that we you know, this
16:09
Speaker 2: Coe just got off for and we need to make
16:11
Speaker 2: that money back. Now, how do we do it?
16:16
Speaker 1: Go?
16:18
Speaker 2: Uh, I don't know. Okay, great, you're fired. And this
16:23
Speaker 2: was the problem with a lot of companies, like with
16:25
Speaker 2: Warner Bros. That's been over to last. Like i'll say,
16:27
Speaker 2: not twenty years, fifteen years. At and T, it's been
16:30
Speaker 2: pretty much confirmed allegedly I'll say allegedly, just sort of
16:32
Speaker 2: say of it. At and T the phone company got them.
16:36
Speaker 2: They started making superhero movies. In light of Disney making
16:40
Speaker 2: the Marvel movies and then being very successful, they hired
16:44
Speaker 2: a director who I like, who visually makes some very
16:48
Speaker 2: good movies in terms of story and plot. I'm just
16:52
Speaker 2: gonna be honest. It's hit or miss. That's by critics
16:56
Speaker 2: and audience standards. Can go look at any of Zack
16:58
Speaker 2: Snyder's films on any rating things Ron Tomatoes, it's like
17:01
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty. And he made the Superman movie Man
17:06
Speaker 2: a Steel, which I really enjoy. It's long, it's very good,
17:10
Speaker 2: but then they go right into Bamman be Superman. But
17:13
Speaker 2: in the movie they have all the other heroes and
17:15
Speaker 2: it's Justice League. Because essentially eighteen t he's like, no,
17:19
Speaker 2: we got to have our own Avengers movie because we
17:21
Speaker 2: need to make a billion dollars. The problem was, like
17:24
Speaker 2: with Avengers, the reason it was so successful is because
17:26
Speaker 2: before that they had let's see Captain America Hall. Yeah,
17:31
Speaker 2: you had four movies, at least five. With Thorpe, you
17:36
Speaker 2: had five movies before you finally pull the Okay, we're
17:42
Speaker 2: gonna do the big climactic sequel where all the movies combined,
17:47
Speaker 2: while with Soup the DC Universe, you essentially only did
17:50
Speaker 2: one because they were all in that second movie before
17:52
Speaker 2: the Justice League movie, and there was other things that
17:55
Speaker 2: happened to But it there's a lot of everyone. Everyone's like, oh,
17:57
Speaker 2: we should do it this, we should do it this way.
17:58
Speaker 2: The problem with like the DC, they've never had like
18:00
Speaker 2: a person actually running this ship on like now with
18:04
Speaker 2: James Gunn and now, sure, they've only done a couple
18:06
Speaker 2: of TV projects in one movie, but it's like they're
18:10
Speaker 2: they're doing the Marvel blueprint. They're letting it build up.
18:13
Speaker 2: They're taking time with it. The question is, though, does
18:17
Speaker 2: actually go anywhere? Who knows because apparently James gun is
18:20
Speaker 2: very against the ill say current administration, who the Ellisons,
18:25
Speaker 2: who now own Oneer Brothers for the time being, are
18:26
Speaker 2: very close with. So it's like, is that even gonna happen?
18:31
Speaker 2: I don't know. There's been people who have said without
18:34
Speaker 2: any then said no sources or tone on this, but
18:37
Speaker 2: they don't believe that he's gonna stay long. So it's like, well, shit,
18:41
Speaker 2: we just got this thing going and it's working out
18:43
Speaker 2: so far financially it's working out, and we're about to
18:46
Speaker 2: lose all the fucking thing. And there's obviously the concern
18:51
Speaker 2: is about you know, you have now a major studio
18:53
Speaker 2: owning at least two major news networks and CNNCBS, is
18:58
Speaker 2: that a conflict of interest? Is that you start going
18:59
Speaker 2: that monopoly stuff and that because the current administration is
19:03
Speaker 2: very close with these people, allegedly do they just get
19:06
Speaker 2: pats in the back. But the problem people don't pretend
19:08
Speaker 2: to forget realize too is just because they are an
19:12
Speaker 2: American company, this still has to actually gonnap prove I
19:15
Speaker 2: mean this, I don't I'm like, but it's an American company,
19:18
Speaker 2: so like why, But it's because they also work a
19:21
Speaker 2: lot with stuff outside United States. I'm like, okay, but
19:23
Speaker 2: I'm like, they're mainly an American companies, Like, how's that
19:25
Speaker 2: affect it? But apparently this stuff has to pass. Fact
19:27
Speaker 2: there's outside the United States too, which I'm like, that's
19:29
Speaker 2: a little weird, but okay, that's the why it's written.
19:32
Speaker 2: Who wrote that book? But again it's why to avoid monopolies,
19:37
Speaker 2: So good good on them again, people with higher pay
19:39
Speaker 2: grades than I have. It's just gonna be one of
19:43
Speaker 2: those things. It's just like a wait and see because
19:45
Speaker 2: here's the thing. This thing's gonna take months, if not years,
19:47
Speaker 2: to get dead done. The problem you're going into, though,
19:50
Speaker 2: is what if this doesn't get done? Because the funny
19:56
Speaker 2: thing and they'll get to my next topica in a second. Supposedly,
20:00
Speaker 2: the Netflix Warner Brothers deal, there was a I'm gonna paraphrase,
20:04
Speaker 2: you're a little bit a two to five billion dollar buyout, Claus.
20:10
Speaker 2: We're essentially if Warner essentially if one of them pull out,
20:14
Speaker 2: And again I'm paraphrase, I don't have the exact numbers.
20:16
Speaker 2: I don't have the exact numbers of facts in front
20:18
Speaker 2: of me. Essentially, they had to pay who were pulled
20:19
Speaker 2: out two to five billion dollars. So because Warner Brothers
20:27
Speaker 2: technically not Netflix, Warner Brothers pulled out the Netflix deal,
20:32
Speaker 2: they had to pay Netflix around two and a half
20:34
Speaker 2: the three billion dollars. Acc according to outlets, Paramount paid
20:40
Speaker 2: it on behalf of Warner Brothers because they own it
20:42
Speaker 2: allegedly and it's already done. So Netflix just got three
20:45
Speaker 2: billion dollars just for talking like okay, And now the
20:55
Speaker 2: funny sketchy thing is a lot of people within Warner
20:59
Speaker 2: Brothers are not happy. They weren't happy than Netflix. Do
21:01
Speaker 2: you lie that? But they're a lot they're not. They're
21:03
Speaker 2: nowhere nearest piss off as they are now with the
21:05
Speaker 2: Paramount deal. And the CEO David Zaz pretty much had
21:08
Speaker 2: this meeting saying like, hey, we're we believe this is
21:11
Speaker 2: the best thing for us, but before we CEO speak,
21:13
Speaker 2: it is what it is. And then he essentially made
21:17
Speaker 2: the comment as if the deal actually goes through, and
21:21
Speaker 2: then more reporting came out pretty much saying that if
21:22
Speaker 2: it doesn't go through, Warner Brothers get seven billion dollars
21:26
Speaker 2: just because and it's like, are they just using these
21:31
Speaker 2: negotiations and just to make more money? Like what the fuck?
21:36
Speaker 2: I mean, hey, go to hon them, I guess. But
21:37
Speaker 2: at the same time, it's like where's all this money,
21:39
Speaker 2: Like where's all this money coming from? Where you have
21:41
Speaker 2: all these reports that like, oh, studios can't you know,
21:44
Speaker 2: the movie theaters are dying, movie studios can't afford this
21:46
Speaker 2: stuff anymore, they can't do this. But then yet here
21:48
Speaker 2: we are. We're literally they just wrote a check to
21:50
Speaker 2: Netflix for three billion dollars because oh sorry, we decided
21:52
Speaker 2: to go. We decided to take a different girl with
21:54
Speaker 2: the problem Like what but we might not go to
21:58
Speaker 2: prom with her. She's gonna pick me up and her
22:02
Speaker 2: dad's no, no, no action no uh. Netflix would pick me
22:07
Speaker 2: up in her dad's pickup truck. But Warner Brothers, I'm
22:10
Speaker 2: gonna get picked up by her mom. Her mom. We're
22:14
Speaker 2: gonna take her mom's Rolls Royce like what okay? But
22:21
Speaker 2: maybe maybe not. I don't know. I don't rolls Royce
22:22
Speaker 2: is not really I don't know. It's kind of short
22:24
Speaker 2: for me. I don't know. Maybe we go with the
22:25
Speaker 2: pickup truck. I mean, if you're doing something better. I mean,
22:28
Speaker 2: you just get three billion dollars, maybe you can get
22:30
Speaker 2: a Rolls Royce. We'll see what happens. My opinion, I
22:34
Speaker 2: think it's gonna go through unfore I or how I
22:39
Speaker 2: put it, I think it is going through. But that
22:40
Speaker 2: comment that of allegedly the CEO may makes you go
22:43
Speaker 2: maybe it doesn't. I don't know. At the end of
22:46
Speaker 2: the day, this is just the way it's headache. There's
22:51
Speaker 2: articles now and like stories out there now like not
22:56
Speaker 2: like concrete, like legit, this is happening. But it's called
23:00
Speaker 2: uh I wrote it down. You should write stuff down
23:03
Speaker 2: and makes it. It's really good for you to help
23:05
Speaker 2: you remember stuff you just gotta you don't remember where
23:07
Speaker 2: the fuck you put it. Essentially, it's called like the
23:12
Speaker 2: Hollywood end game theory. We're essentially Hollywood's too big, right,
23:17
Speaker 2: They're not even too big. Hollywood can't afford all these studios.
23:21
Speaker 2: There's all these there's all these reports and articles about
23:23
Speaker 2: like how no one makes films and holly in California.
23:26
Speaker 2: Well because a lot is because they don't get all
23:27
Speaker 2: these tax breaks, which will get to tax break stuff
23:30
Speaker 2: here in a second, and a lot of them are
23:32
Speaker 2: leaving or they're getting they're being sold, and the endgame
23:37
Speaker 2: theory essentially is that it's gonna end up just being Disney, uh, Paramount,
23:41
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers. And even if and even if it doesn't happen,
23:45
Speaker 2: they're still saying Paramount probably will say because they have
23:47
Speaker 2: a lot of money behind them, Netflix and then the
23:52
Speaker 2: other and while it is for but like they're saying
23:54
Speaker 2: that ones made because of the streaming, it'd be Apple
23:57
Speaker 2: and Amazon. I mean Amazon owns MGM, which is an
24:00
Speaker 2: insane library. And Apple TV. I mean like they're just
24:05
Speaker 2: they're being smart. They're playing the slow and steady game,
24:07
Speaker 2: but they know the regardless people are gonna watch their
24:09
Speaker 2: program because all this stuf's gonna be just Ted Lasso.
24:12
Speaker 2: I only say aything else about Apple TV shrinking Monarch,
24:19
Speaker 2: I can go on. So yeah, And do I think
24:25
Speaker 2: Warner Brothers stays with Paramount, as I said a couple
24:30
Speaker 2: of school I do. But those whole thing about junk
24:32
Speaker 2: bonds and like they don't know where all this money
24:35
Speaker 2: is coming from, and people are saying more and more
24:36
Speaker 2: they don't know how this sales are gonna get done.
24:38
Speaker 2: I think what they end up happening is Paramount is
24:40
Speaker 2: gonna keep Warner Brothers in HBO, and they're gonna find
24:44
Speaker 2: a way to essentially back end Warner Brothers to sell
24:48
Speaker 2: the other assets of their places. That's just my opinion,
24:53
Speaker 2: because you don't need two new studios. Why not that
24:58
Speaker 2: apparently Scene is doing really well rating like they said,
25:00
Speaker 2: like the best brains to add a five year brother
25:03
Speaker 2: Pale and CBS and CBS. I don't know. I just
25:09
Speaker 2: work here, so yeah, yeah, in my opinion, that's what happens.
25:12
Speaker 2: And then maybe someone swoops in and gets them. But
25:14
Speaker 2: like the problem is is like we have monopoly lost
25:18
Speaker 2: for raising. It's a certain like all right, click, like
25:21
Speaker 2: you're here, you make fun of me, But I'm gonna
25:23
Speaker 2: say it. What I love for the mouse to get them? Yes, why,
25:27
Speaker 2: I think they have to do a really good job
25:29
Speaker 2: with I put this new content is one thing. I
25:36
Speaker 2: think they do a good job of promoting and publishing
25:39
Speaker 2: and like producing old content and not that Wonder Brothers
25:43
Speaker 2: doesn't they actually do. They actually are one of like
25:46
Speaker 2: the last pick studios that is really close to still
25:49
Speaker 2: sticking with the whole physical media stuff. You know that's
25:52
Speaker 2: going away because everything's going to streaming. But I just
25:56
Speaker 2: think it would be good for it because Disney is
25:58
Speaker 2: a good track record of like when I put this,
26:02
Speaker 2: a lot of studios will give up on they're big
26:07
Speaker 2: or what they think are there big for ips intellectual properties.
26:14
Speaker 2: Disney is like, we're gonna They're gonna keep We're gonna
26:15
Speaker 2: keep trying. He's what with Star Wars case in point,
26:19
Speaker 2: like not saying trons of failure, but like the last
26:20
Speaker 2: trimeal we did not make anyhere near what they thought
26:22
Speaker 2: it was gonna make. It's one point five billion dollars,
26:24
Speaker 2: but it's like they're like, well, are we gonna make
26:25
Speaker 2: another one? I don't know, but it's like cheesus. But
26:31
Speaker 2: then you have one of us, a Star Trek, and
26:34
Speaker 2: they're probably gonna remoove like the fifth time. You have
26:39
Speaker 2: other ones where it's like, well, it's just sitting there.
26:43
Speaker 2: And the problem is, like we live in the eighth
26:45
Speaker 2: Intellectual property is like, if it's good, if it's halfway decent,
26:48
Speaker 2: it can make you all the money in the world,
26:49
Speaker 2: which that should that should not be the way it is,
26:50
Speaker 2: but that's just how it is. We have Paraunt has
26:52
Speaker 2: a mission impossible, Like there's one top gun Good exactly.
26:56
Speaker 2: They have Tom Cruise. That's air in actual property, they
26:59
Speaker 2: have Tom Cruise. So I don't I don't know. I
27:05
Speaker 2: I hope it goes back to Netflix only because of
27:08
Speaker 2: like when they said like, hey, we're not gonna do
27:09
Speaker 2: anything or let them be them run their ship. We're
27:12
Speaker 2: actually going to corporate their business resources said now go
27:15
Speaker 2: into movie theater business and just move on from there,
27:17
Speaker 2: which file accounts. Even Netflix is still saying like, yeah,
27:19
Speaker 2: actually we are going to do that now, which is
27:21
Speaker 2: what people in saying she would do for years. But
27:24
Speaker 2: they're not in the moo theater business. They're in the
27:26
Speaker 2: streaming business. And then they bought a company that could
27:31
Speaker 2: help them get into the movie theater business. So we'll
27:36
Speaker 2: see what happens there. Another thing, not the funny thing
27:40
Speaker 2: money thing, we'll talk about the uh Hammond I'm mean, sorry,
27:45
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears. You if you're not a Bears fan, I'll
27:51
Speaker 2: give you the quick scope the Bears got approve essentially
27:54
Speaker 2: go to Indiana right on right on the border of
27:57
Speaker 2: Indiana and Chicago. It's literally, really I think it's like
28:01
Speaker 2: what twenty miles from the stadium south right off the
28:04
Speaker 2: lake front. Haim in Indiana simply because Indiana is like,
28:09
Speaker 2: we can make a lot of fucking money having us
28:12
Speaker 2: not just a second of what save Indiana, but having
28:15
Speaker 2: a team that is one of the cornerstone frames or
28:18
Speaker 2: one of the old I'm not gonna say, I mean,
28:19
Speaker 2: I love my Bears, but they're at cornerstont right now.
28:22
Speaker 2: They are. They're one of the original building blocks, but
28:24
Speaker 2: not cornert right now because they've have done anything in
28:25
Speaker 2: twenty years. Well take that back forty fuck forty years.
28:33
Speaker 2: So they apparently they already passed bills, they already have
28:37
Speaker 2: a committee for like you know, to like start getting
28:40
Speaker 2: self approved. They're pretty much just playing the Bears and
28:43
Speaker 2: typical just because they're wearing the state of the Bear's
28:45
Speaker 2: way in the state of Illinois. They go, all right,
28:48
Speaker 2: indian is ready to do this. Are you guys ready
28:50
Speaker 2: to give us what we want? Essentially, what the beer?
28:51
Speaker 2: What do the Bears want? They want tax breaks, they
28:54
Speaker 2: want some funding, but they made it clear they didn't
28:58
Speaker 2: want any public funding. But it's like this with any stadium.
29:02
Speaker 2: It's like, okay, you don't you're saying you don't want
29:04
Speaker 2: public funding, you don't want the taxpayers to pay for it.
29:08
Speaker 2: But yet you want tax breaks, you want this, you
29:10
Speaker 2: want that. Who's gonna pay for it? As oscars crying,
29:16
Speaker 2: We're gonna pay for it, dudes, So they want they
29:20
Speaker 2: want taxpayers to help. My quick thoughts on it. It's
29:27
Speaker 2: gonna happen. I mean, I think the Bears are gonna
29:30
Speaker 2: stay in Illinois. Why. A couple of years ago they
29:33
Speaker 2: bought the mccaskey's, owners of the Bears, bought a horse
29:36
Speaker 2: track in Arlington Heights. I think it's around three hundred
29:41
Speaker 2: eight is it three hundred acres? That might be wrong,
29:44
Speaker 2: I'm reading off though it's I found online. The internet
29:47
Speaker 2: says three hundred acres. That's a lot. Could be bull crap. Anyway,
29:52
Speaker 2: they bought a lot of land, They bought a horse track,
29:55
Speaker 2: they knocked it down, and they all owed this land.
29:58
Speaker 2: And they want to put a stadium there. They want
30:00
Speaker 2: to put hotels and restaurants. They sentially want to do
30:03
Speaker 2: what every major sports franchise is doing. You're it's no
30:07
Speaker 2: longer just it's no longer the stadium. The stadium is
30:11
Speaker 2: not the only thing people are there for. The stadium
30:13
Speaker 2: is a center point, but outside the seam, you're gonna
30:15
Speaker 2: have all these businesses. If you're from the Midwest, take
30:17
Speaker 2: a case in point, look at Wrigleyville, case in point,
30:19
Speaker 2: look at Buckstown in Milwaukee by the Pfizer form. It's
30:24
Speaker 2: crazy to and I hate this sound like an old guy,
30:27
Speaker 2: but it's crazy to see like all that, like what
30:28
Speaker 2: that area used to be to what it is now.
30:31
Speaker 2: And it's not like it was, oh my god, so
30:33
Speaker 2: long ago there was nothing here. It's like, no, it
30:35
Speaker 2: felt like last week there was like nothing here. Right
30:37
Speaker 2: now there's like, oh, there's a new arena. There's restaurants, hotels,
30:41
Speaker 2: parking lots, all this shit. And I was like quick
30:44
Speaker 2: that fast. It's like, oh, okay, I guess we're doing this.
30:48
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen because it's if it's in Lands and Heights,
30:54
Speaker 2: you're gonna have all these hotels, restaurants, bars, stores, merchandise.
31:01
Speaker 2: Chicago bears a flamethrower. You're gonna have all this ship
31:04
Speaker 2: and with that, then you're gonna have a new dome
31:06
Speaker 2: stadium in the Chicago Land area that can host things
31:09
Speaker 2: like the Super Bowl, WrestleMania, Taylor Swift anytime they're a near.
31:14
Speaker 2: Because that's a problem with Soldier Field I like Soldier Field.
31:17
Speaker 2: I do. And I'm gonna say this and I said
31:21
Speaker 2: I think I said once or twice in the podcast before.
31:24
Speaker 2: Do I want the Bears to leave Chicago? No? Do
31:28
Speaker 2: I want the Bears to have a dome? No? I
31:32
Speaker 2: want bear weather football games. If you're bear fing know
31:35
Speaker 2: what that means. Unfortunately, that's just not feasible anymore. Every
31:42
Speaker 2: single team that's doing the new stadiums, they're building a
31:44
Speaker 2: dome because for players safe, not just player safety, but
31:48
Speaker 2: fan safety and fan uh just overall. What's the word happiness.
31:56
Speaker 2: That's not the right, That's something exact what I'm thinking about.
31:58
Speaker 2: I mean. And you can argue, we'll buffal a new
32:00
Speaker 2: stadium without a roof. Yeah, that's Buffalo. I'm sorry, what
32:04
Speaker 2: else is there to do in Buffalo? People in Buffaloes
32:06
Speaker 2: are the same thing. I went to a school for
32:07
Speaker 2: a guy in Buffalo, and he's like, yeah, other than
32:09
Speaker 2: the other than you know, the Bills and the Sabers
32:12
Speaker 2: were just like, let's go chill out. I guess, like,
32:14
Speaker 2: what else were we gonna do? Or let's go to
32:15
Speaker 2: New York but with a new stadium, or and here's
32:23
Speaker 2: my biggest point, before you get to like the before
32:26
Speaker 2: you get to like the stadium thing. If you've never
32:30
Speaker 2: been to a game in Soldier Field, please don't talk
32:35
Speaker 2: about this. Not that you can't voice your opinion. People't
32:38
Speaker 2: talk about the why I have been too. What has
32:44
Speaker 2: been renowned is the last, at least in my lifetime,
32:48
Speaker 2: worst stadium in football, that being the Washington Commander Stadium.
32:54
Speaker 2: Wasn't the Was it the most advanced stadium? No? Was
32:58
Speaker 2: it the most comfortable? No? But I can tell you
33:02
Speaker 2: this right now, it was easy as hell getting in
33:07
Speaker 2: and out of that sum bitch. Soldier Field sucks. It
33:13
Speaker 2: is awful to park at. Any person who has ever
33:17
Speaker 2: played there will say that. Any person who's ever covered
33:19
Speaker 2: a game there will say that. Any person who has
33:21
Speaker 2: ever gone there will say that it is not fun
33:27
Speaker 2: getting in and out of that area after a football
33:30
Speaker 2: game concert. I don't care. It sucks, And again you
33:39
Speaker 2: can make all the points you want. It's is the
33:41
Speaker 2: last thing I wanna say about this. Well, they leave
33:45
Speaker 2: the Chicago the bear should be in Chicago. Do you
33:49
Speaker 2: have any idea? I know there's an old argument now,
33:51
Speaker 2: but how many teams are not actually the city they
33:53
Speaker 2: play in. Let's see new York Giants and Jets don't
33:58
Speaker 2: even play in the state of New York. San Francisco
34:00
Speaker 2: forty hours doing playing San Francisco. They play an hour
34:03
Speaker 2: away Dallas. I don even playing. I'm not gonna say it.
34:07
Speaker 2: They want playing Dallas. I'm not gonna say where they play.
34:09
Speaker 2: It's not Dallas, Texas. Do I need to say more?
34:13
Speaker 1: Oh?
34:13
Speaker 2: Yeah? Make you going? Okay? Great? Where does the Patriots play?
34:17
Speaker 2: Fucks bro? No, they they wait in New England. It's
34:22
Speaker 2: all a bunch of crap. It's like who, as Peter
34:26
Speaker 2: Griffin one said, Oh my god, who the hell cares?
34:30
Speaker 2: They can move the Indiana. They can move to Orleans
34:32
Speaker 2: and Heights. They're still gonna call themself the Chicago Bears.
34:36
Speaker 2: If anything, them being in Orlington Heights, it's out of Chicago.
34:39
Speaker 2: It will make more sense than the foreigners call themselves
34:42
Speaker 2: San Francisco. Four nurs when they when they play in
34:44
Speaker 2: Santa Clara, they got San fran But just the way
34:49
Speaker 2: it is on that note, Jesus Christ, the end, it's again.
34:57
Speaker 2: It's same with the Warner Brothers in Paramount Thanks with
34:59
Speaker 2: Warner Bros. And Netflix and the Bears. It's all about
35:01
Speaker 2: the money. It's a lot. It's all about them, It's
35:05
Speaker 2: all about it's all anyone cares about. Not that you should,
35:09
Speaker 2: that's the only thing you care about. But when it
35:10
Speaker 2: comes to these shareholders, business people, suits, et cetera, it's
35:13
Speaker 2: all they care about because at the end, they're all
35:15
Speaker 2: trying to make that mighty dollars they can live comfortably,
35:17
Speaker 2: not to do anything else, same with the rest of
35:20
Speaker 2: their family generations. Just the way it is doesn't suck. Yeah,
35:26
Speaker 2: but born a long time, born in the wrong timeline,
35:31
Speaker 2: I guess I like this timeline could be better. Yeah,
35:35
Speaker 2: of course, so I'm working at it. I know. I
35:40
Speaker 2: don't think the Bears do go to Indiana. I think
35:44
Speaker 2: they stay in Arlington Heights again. They own the land.
35:48
Speaker 2: Sure they can sell the land and make some money
35:49
Speaker 2: off it, but like I think they want to see
35:53
Speaker 2: this scene through. Fortunately Reginia McCaskey they pass away this
35:56
Speaker 2: last year, and I can see George being like I
36:01
Speaker 2: guess I can see for him, he's probably thinking like
36:03
Speaker 2: this is like my other than like getting super Bowls,
36:05
Speaker 2: which hopefully they get soon. Like he wants to be
36:07
Speaker 2: like I say, He's like, hey, I built this State
36:09
Speaker 2: of the Arts stadium that you know, Chicago fans have
36:13
Speaker 2: been clamoring for. And in's the thing, the interesting they'll
36:16
Speaker 2: be happy to see is Okay, let's see, let's they
36:17
Speaker 2: leave Soldier Field where hapens that? Because again spoiler, they
36:20
Speaker 2: don't own Soldier Field. Parks of the place the park
36:23
Speaker 2: district owns. It can be started on that ship they
36:26
Speaker 2: own it. So I was a Soldier Field. Northwestern's opening
36:29
Speaker 2: a new stadium and that's supposed to be one of
36:32
Speaker 2: the by all accounts with the most advanced modern stadium
36:36
Speaker 2: right now in the United States for a college now
36:38
Speaker 2: and then just for a college, but at a college. Okay,
36:40
Speaker 2: what's that gonna entail? And Alway's gonna be not that
36:43
Speaker 2: far from me, which will be really nice. So it's
36:46
Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting. But yeah, it's like I said,
36:51
Speaker 2: like this will help Chicago the area rather get Super Bowls,
36:58
Speaker 2: WrestleMania's final four, worst concerts all year round, not that
37:02
Speaker 2: Chicago doesn't get that, but they don't get those capacity. Now,
37:05
Speaker 2: does it tucking to be out of the Chicago that's
37:06
Speaker 2: gonna essentially help affect those businesses? Yes, but then again,
37:09
Speaker 2: the city of Chicago wants it that bad they know
37:11
Speaker 2: they have. It's like this thing some of my dad
37:17
Speaker 2: tell me a lot of time ago, and you probably
37:19
Speaker 2: heard this too. Doesn't matter when you're buying a car,
37:25
Speaker 2: does it matter what deal you got. Both of you got.
37:31
Speaker 2: Both of you got screwed in some way. You don't
37:33
Speaker 2: know it. If you're the person buying it or the salesperson.
37:36
Speaker 2: Both of you got screwed. You both don't know it
37:39
Speaker 2: what it is. But you both still all got screwed
37:41
Speaker 2: because you don't get exactly what you want. Because no
37:43
Speaker 2: one gets exactly what they want. It's not everyone got.
37:45
Speaker 2: If everyone got what they want, then life wouldn't exist
37:47
Speaker 2: as we know it. It wouldn't. That's why you hear
37:50
Speaker 2: about these business you have to compromise, saying with the
37:52
Speaker 2: Warner Brother's Paramount thing all of a time, Oh yeah, no,
37:55
